1. PRODUCT 

DESCRIPTION

Linear’s M&S Systems brand Model DMC-10 Structured Wiring 
Intercom System is a distributed hub design that provides easy 
installation and structured wiring mounting compatibility.

The heart of the system is the Model DMC-10H Intercom Hub. 
The system hub grid mounts in a structured wiring enclosure. 
Up to eight room, door, and patio stations in any combination 
can be connected to the system hub using up to 500 feet of 
standard Cat-5 cable for each station. For larger installations, a 
second intercom hub can be added for 16 station capacity.

Room station keypads are illuminated with soft blue indicators 
while the intercom is in use. The door and patio station keys are 
illuminated with white lighting. Station faceplates are available 
in a variety of colors to customize each installation.

The room, patio, and door stations mount inside standard 
2-gang junction boxes and are easy to install and wire. Each 
station and the intercom hub contains color-coded Type 110 
punch-down terminal blocks for fast and reliable connection to 
Cat-5 cable using a Type 110 impact punch down tool.
